Bumpers are getting overused now, and hurdles debuts put back a year too often.

Seems to be too many defaulting to a full season of bumpers, instead of one in the autumn, to give horses a run and get used to a racecourse then straight into hurdles.

Agree. They have now somehow turned Bumpers into a season long lucrative championship in their own right as opposed to just being an initial learning one race step to hurdles for what they were brought in for.

I think I may have posted my view on this previously, but I think bumpers should be scrapped full stop.

Go and run on the flat for an education, or organise them at home.

I always use the bumper to go fetch a drink when at the course.

Injury picked up after his chase win.

Could make them exclusively for 4 and 5 year olds

I'm trying to set up to get an email if there is a post in a particular discussion but I can't find the thread tools. Any help would be appreciated.

I think you can subscribe to a specific thread, but this may only notify you on this site. Not sure how you’d link it to your email.
Saxon Warrior mentioned this tool the other day. Perhaps he knows more ?

That’s right Q,

the SUBSCRIBE Box is top right of every page of a specific thread.

So if you want to SUBSCRIBE to a FJ Diary for example, go to the diary, open up a page

* for first page, just press on the Diary Name you want
* for latest page just press the small blue double right-hand arrows as usual.

Go to the top of that page, look on the right for SUBSCRIBE (in a a box), press it, and every time there is a post for that Diary, you will get a notification.

If you get too many notifications for something you don’t want, just press the box again (I think it changes from SUBSCRIBE to UNSUBSCRIBE)

You can SUBSCRIBE and UNSUBSCRIBE to your hearts content, and do this on any thread, too, say a Champion Hurdle thread, or a Supreme Novice Hurdle thread.

I don’t know about getting emails.

The notifications are highlighted when you log into Fat Jockey.

Thanks for all the advice. It seems that you get an email for the reasons below but not for example when someone posts on their Cheltenham diary which in a lot of cases can be time sensitive. However the quality of the content is so good I don't mind checking in regularly.

If you're in the discussion (have actively posted) I believe that email notification would alert you if you subscribe to it, as others have said


Checking in regularly is the desired outcome though

Gypsy Island declared for Thursday - if she wins, when does her novice status end? Am i right in saying she is a novice for the full season ahead?

Yes. It's effectively now the 2021/22 season.
